2 Dallas institutions with verified free admission — 1 always free, 1 with scheduled free days. Dallas splits cleanly: the Dallas Museum of Art's permanent collection has been free every day since 2013 (with first Sundays adding the ticketed special exhibitions), while the Perot has no general-public free day at all — a fact worth knowing before you drive over on a rumor.
